hey if u want one i am still selling the galt town hooligan.
got my votes in. some amazing bikes, good job to all who competed.
Maybe a few pages off here, but just sat down to read everything here and vote
Rat, custom, rust bucket, cruiser, klunker, kid's bike, wacky one-off... when it's all said and doen you just gotta build for you. I am flattered to have a few votes for 'The Wormwood Limited', and yeah it would be a rush to place (haha) but that's not why I wanted to enter a bike. I wanted to make a one of a kind machine that had some of my own flair in it. A machine that, when all is said and done and even if everyone else thinks it's garbage, I am happy with, and proud to ride. If I can't produce something I am proud of and enjoy, how can I hope to make something that would excite another? This has been a philosophy of mine as a craftsman of violins, steampunk things, etc., and I truly believe that everyone here should take pride in their finished machines, and no matter how the voting pans out, feel proud of what they've created.
Brilliant job everyone, I've felt privilaged to be a part of it all!

Well stated, S&S!
Well all I have to say is WOW after sitting through and watching all the great builds and getting inspired then going out to my garage and not having a ton of parts all over like before ....my welder collecting dust my saws and pipe cutter...laying idle, talk about depressing.
But I did realize that from the anythings goes build off to this buiild off that I think that I get more inspired to build from all the others that build. When I decided to start making badges I finally decided to focus on one thing which I've never been able to do in my life...ADD ?? maybe...confused sure ....unique....we all are. Just like every bike in the build off and every builder. Some I've gotten to know a little through making badges for them and other just because ya have things in common and you hit it off like a long lost brother... but what I think overall is were just one big happy family of bike lovers...and hey thats whats important. Imagine what our garage would look like if it had to house all of these great builds....now there would be a picture for ya.....but congrats to everyone.
Im in for 4th 5 th and 6th place....so when all the votes are cast and you know where you land contact me and we'll make you something really cool for your bike. If theres ties in any of those place then were all in....

Awesome! That's got to make ya smile...Rat Rod said:
Echoing others... I found it just about impossible to choose a "top three". So many oustanding bikes. I say congratulations to everyone! Thanks to all for sharing your builds!
A big congratulations to every one who finished a bike this year! I don't think there is a single bike that didn't have something I really liked about it. I personally love the amount of variety that comes out of these build offs every year. Plus at the end of the build off this thread always makes for a fun read :lol:
Sold my build off bike! They said they would pick it up on Monday...

How much you get from it?
I only asked $100...it was built from spare parts mostley.
I bought some hardware, paint, crank bolts and a bottom bracket for it...oh and the rear bag.
I think that's it :lol: (no more than $40 - $50 for sure invested)
She seemed pretty shocked that it was so cheap...but I just want to get a new huffy for parts or ???? or a new springer fork.
She asked why would you sell it? I said i just built it from spare parts...silence... :lol:
Kinda makes ya happy
